Abstract

The Business Communication courseware is a supplementary learning tool used in Universiti Tun Abdul Razak. It is used to complement face to face classes, online tutorials and lecture notes. The courseware's Instructional Design has been summatively evaluated with positive results. To ensure quality, the screen design is evaluated as well. Students' evaluations of the screen design of the courseware are gathered and analyzed. The results of the research show that the courseware's screen design is favoured and effective as a supplementary material in the university. The outcome of the summative evaluation will be used to improve the quality of teaching as well as the development of other courseware or instructional materials in the future.
